One is legal. One is illegal. If you, as you so eloquently put it, "fuck up" so badly as to get legally shot, your "fuck up" put the other person's life in jeopardy. That's not a fuck up, that's criminal, and the person you're "fucking up" has a right to live, even if it means they have to kill you to do it.

Who said anything about being "legally" shot? Doesn't it stand to reason that if the number of citizens with CCW permits dramatically increased so to would the chance of those permits being abused? Just because someone has a CCW permit doesn't mean that they are trustworthy. Not to mention that shooting someone may not always be the most reasonable reaction to "impoliteness."

There are around 2.5 MILLION defensive gun uses in this country annually. Most of the time, a shot isn't fired, much less somebody dies. If you live in fear of being shot by people with CCW permits, maybe you should stop breaking the fucking law. Pretty goddamned simple, if you ask me.

See above. Possession of a CCW permit does not equal lawfullness. As I mentioned before, I am not opposed to gun ownership but the premise that more guns equals more safety seems flawed to me.
